Automotive Cluster - the network for Bavarian car manufacturers and automotive suppliers

The future. Together. Shaping.

The automotive industry is Germany's most important economic sector. This is particularly true for Bavaria, where it employs around 500,000 people and also provides important impetus for other sectors with its innovative strength. Under the motto "Together. Moving more", the Bavarian Automotive Cluster supports all players in the automotive industry in implementing new trends in cooperation projects.

The automotive industry is a highly dynamic sector. Changes in global markets, social developments, political guidelines and new technologies are leading to ever shorter innovation cycles for technologies, vehicles and mobility offerings. Anyone who wants to be successful in the automotive industry in the long term must therefore constantly question their products and business models - and reposition their expertise in the context of emerging trends. The Automotive Cluster supports companies in mastering these challenges with its large network and comprehensive range of services.

Our goal

The Automotive Cluster sustainably strengthens the international competitiveness of Bavarian vehicle manufacturers and suppliers. Together with you, we identify new trends at an early stage and support you in translating these trends into new products and business models in cooperation with suitable partner organizations. True to the motto: "Together. Move more".
